Texas Supreme Court

Reid Road Municipal Utility District No. 2, Petitioner v. Speedy Stop Food Stores, Ltd., Respondent

March 11, 201154 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 658

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court's reversal of the trial court, holding that LaBeff's affidavit was properly excluded because he was not an officer or employee of the limited partnership and lacked personal familiarity with the property, and that the District's use of the appraiser's testimony and appraisal was admissible as an adoptive admission under Rule 801(e)(2)(B). Justice WILLETT filed a concurring opinion.
